Serial No. 704,813.

1 0 all whom 2'6 may concern Be it known that I, JOHN E. NACE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lilanover, in the county of York and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Spool-Bearing, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates more particularly to means for supporting spools in cabinets adapted to display lace and insertion.

The invention will be particularly de scribed in connection with the specific description hereinafter to be given.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this speoification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of a spool and supporting standards having bearings formed in accordance with my in vention. Fig. 2 is a cross section on about the line of Fig. l; and 1 3 is a view 01: the blank form which the bearings of the spool are formed.

The spool, in the form shown, consists of a spindle 26 and disks or heads 27. Each end of the spindle has a bearing in a hanger socket 35, which is formed from a blank, as shown in Fig. 3, said blank presenting an elongated body with spurs or points 36 at each end, the base of the said spurs being narrower than the total width of the strip The blank is bent into curved term, as shown clearly in Fig. 2, and is folded on the transverse line 37, at right angles to the length of the strip, and then folded on the Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,

diagonal line 38 at the base oil the spurs 36. By thus folding the blank, the spurs 36 are folded down onto the end Off the blank, and a member at the base of the spur folds down onto the body of the strip, with the spurs between said member and the body of the strip, the said spurs, 3t), assiiiniing positions projecting beyond the edge of the hanger, approxiinately parallel with the axis thereof, and parallel with each other at the ends Off the curved body.

The described disks do not form part of the present invention.

lilaving thus described my invention, 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters l. atent,

'l he herein-described bearing sockets, coinprising semi-circular members having the ends thereof in the form of spurs integral with the body ot the socket, the material being bent diagonally at the base of the spurs and then at substantially right angles at points inward from the said diagonal lines, the ends of the bearings thus presenting return-bent members and members beneath the said return-bends, the spurs projecting from the last mentioned members and projecting beyond a side edge of the socket approximately parallel with each other and approxiimitely parallel with the axis of the socket.

in testimony whereof? I have signed my name to this specification in the presence or]? two sul'iscribing witnt JUl-IN EDWA ll) NACE.
